AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant and very attractive Esterbrook Estie fountain pen in its renowned Honeycomb version, a finish that stands out for its spectacular play of transparencies and veins in warm amber tones, evoking the texture of honey. It is a modern piece that recovers the classic aesthetics of the American brand, combining tradition and contemporary functionality.

The body presents an excellent overall condition, with intact shine and no visible signs of significant use. The resin retains all its depth and chromatic richness, with no opacities or appreciable microcracks. The gold finishes — clip and rings — appear clean, with very good luster and no evident wear of the plating.

The gold-plated steel nib, in Stub size 1.1, is in very good condition, with no deformations or damage, ideal for expressive writing with varied stroke width. The feed appears clean and correctly aligned.

The cartridge/converter filling system works correctly, delivered with original converter. The pen has been serviced and is operable, ready for use.

The set is completed with its original Esterbrook case, which shows light signs of storage, consistent with handling, but in good overall condition and perfectly functional.

Care recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, periodically clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry completely before storing, keep in a dry place without direct sun exposure or extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.

A very attractive piece for daily use as well as for a collection.

Happy bidding!
